Oxygen was at 83....

Hypo and others like him seem to have no problem coming back for more of the same treatment on here when they "definitely" have a sinister diagnosis on their hands....so what's in it for them? There has to be a benefit otherwise they wouldn't bother documenting their ailments?

[AntsyVee]

Oh yes, I forgot you were also on AZ Antsy....so you see exactly the same now as you saw on AZ and no changes/improvements/efforts made etc etc blah blah ?

Yes, he ignores the posts that don't support his thinking, and answers the ones that do. On AZ, he was obsessed with ALS. He was even banned from some ALS forums online because of postings. He supposedly even had an appointment set up with the Mayo Clinic. I don't think that ever happened, but basically, he finally got a specialist and accepted that he didn't have ALS. This was after years of the obsession.

When he came here to NMP, I thought he was genuinely going to work on his anxiety...or at least that's what he told me. Now it's just moved onto cancers and other conditions, and he still doesn't see the connection about what happened with the ALS thing and this pattern of posting.

I really have a vested interest in his health because I know he has a little girl at home. I think he also has PTSD, and as many of you know, I do too, and I know it's a special kind of hell.

That's very sad, not only for him. I hope someone is looking out for his little girl.

[BikerMatt]

Not been around much, is Hypo the same guy who had a different cancer every 5 minutes? Or somebody else? or the same person with two accounts?

[AntsyVee]

I don't know if he has two accounts. I only know his identity from AZ, which he has asked me not to share.

Just had a look through old threads, the person I thought of was a member called Darkside, Hypo sounds like the same person to me

[AntsyVee]

I know there was something about Darkside and darkside4k being one person with two accounts, but I don't know if that's accurate, nor do I remember if we ever found out what was the mix up there.

[Carys]

Yeah, Darkside and Hypo, two different people (that we know) - but I get their threads mixed up too as the similarties of theme, responses to people, constant running to ER and years of not tackling their mental health problems are almost identical.

[AntsyVee]

I one of the darkside people might also be from AZ. On AZ, I think they were ________fromTexas. It was like allenfromTexas or something similar.

I'll take a run as to the "why post" question. There are a few posters here (Helen would be included, too) who I think use this space as an outlet for their anxiety. They post when they are worried, document their concerns, and generally come here to be heard, but not to try to tackle the underlying problem. I suspect there is only so much they can talk to others around them about their worries before they lose patience, or perhaps they are afraid to talk to others at all. Coming here and talking about how scared they are is their solution, or their therapy of sorts. It seems to work for them as they come and go as needed, although I know it gets frustrating to everyone else.
